Default C6 LS2 K&N Intake or Vararam?

I bought a 2005 C6 LS2 Automatic recently

and the last owner put in a carbon fiber K&N Intake

I'm thinking a Vararam or some sort of RAM intake would work much better and i'm thinking of buying one
But if the difference is going to be like 2-4 horsepower from K&N to a different one, it's not worth 2-300 dollars...

Some people claim the K&N gives only 2 horsepower over stock? Is this true?
How much could a Vararam yield over stock?

don't think the Vararam will make anything more than stock but the car will run 3 to 4/10's quicker in a dragrace

Vararam all day, I have seen them produce almost unbelievable results at the drag strip.
Dyno doesn't matter here
